Richard Branson
  • The music industry is a strange combination of having real and intangible assets: pop bands are brand names in themselves, and at a given stage in their careers their name alone can practically gaurantee hit records.

  • My general attitude to life is to enjoy every minute of every day. I never do anything with a feeling of, 'Oh God, I've got to do this today.'

  • A business has to be involving, it has to be fun, and it has to exercise your creative instincts.

  • Business opportunities are like buses, there's always another one coming.

  • To me, business isn't about wearing suits or pleasing stockholders. It's about being true to yourself, your ideas and focusing on the essentials.
